"After listening to Reality Provoking Liberation it is clear that Apex Zero is one of the most impressive rising artists in UK hip hop; this debut offering which is a solid piece of work from the first track to the last track will satisfy the taste of hip hop fans who like hard beats and rhymes from an emcee with something to say, giving the audience thought provoking rhymes which is refreshing to hear"

Andrew Kay "In an age where everything is dumbed down, including music, it’s a rare thing: an artist willing to speak out about the oppression of ordinary people, but in such an articulate and honest way...Apex Zero goes a long way to reminding people what music can do and what power it can have to inspire people to change their way of thinking and their outlook on life"

"Apex Zero’s style is lyrically dense but not un-fathomable and it’s likely some of the knowledge he kicks may push some people to learn about things schools don’t teach. He has a full on lyrical machine gun approach via his rapid unrelenting flow...Apex brings us plenty of food for thought and production that’s full of atmospheric strings and tuff beats. Indeed his album is a 12 course meal. 12 tracks of nourishing revolution! Don’t sleep on it."

4/5 Mike Scheumeister
The beats are banging throughout...The dark instrumentals coupled with Apex Zero's fierce flow and intelligent subject matter set this album apart from many of the other hip-hop albums being released today...he has a confrontational style and clever politically-charged wordplay. While I may not agree with everything he says on the album, it's definitely nice to hear an emcee who refuses to cower to the powers that be and spit with a passion about the topics that he believes to be true.

"It’s an education for the masses — any one who is fight ing a social struggle...Turn ing up with out synthesisers or electronic inspired vocals, a raw in-depth vocalist that combines a unique graphic novel element, comes as a relief for us old-schoolers...A true underground artist."

"It is substance and quality...whether or not you agree with his revolutionary model, which separates the social commentary on this album from contrived works...far too provocative for a casual listen"
